2005 Toyota Echo Hatchback - Project Slowtop

Hi Everyone,

I have a 2005 Toyota Echo Cup Race Car that has been extensively modified.
I've been driving the swap for about 5 months now without a single glitch or hickup (minus the annoying exhaust rattle) The only things left from the factory race car is the roll cage and momo shifter and steering wheel... and the wheels.

I have changed everything else

It has the following:

4age 20v Blacktop motor with 6 speed transmission and LSD
Custom Turbo setup with custom Garrett GT28 Ball Bearing Turbo
Koni Yellow adjustable Struts with lowering springs
Custom Rear disc brake setup
Custom Larger swaybars on the front and rear
Custom Strut Tower Bar
Custom 2.5" exhaust
Full Roll cage
AEM wideband
autometer water, oil and boost
Gagues are custom mounted on the roll cage
Megasquirt ECU
TRD Rear Wing
Acura Leather Seats
Momo Wheel
Momo Shifter
16" Dai Echo Cup Wheels

The only echo in the world with a 4age 20v blacktop swap with the 6 speed transmission. Car makes 230whp at 8.5psi. Come next spring you can expect that number to double
